Fiamma Nirenstein won't run for reelection, making aliya instead

You mentioned bipartisan relations here, but you really didn’t like a decision in particular that Monti made …“On
one side I can express satisfaction with the bipartisan works in the
committee on Anti-Semitism and on many other issues; nonetheless I was
deeply disappointed by Monti’s indication to vote for the Palestinian
non-member observer status at the UN”.Why do you think he made such a decision?“In the
prospective of a better relationship with the left. He believes, like
many others, that the pro-Arab ante might pay off. I am concerned that
should a new D’Alema be appointed as Minister of Foreign Affairs, Italy
would once again plunge in a backward position, with a distorted view of
the issues of the Arab world and Israel”.Any plans for the next future?“I want to go back to Israel and take the citizenship. I have good reasons to do so. January 27thwill
be Holocaust Remembrance Day; nevertheless, widespread anti-Semitism
still persists across the world, Israel is the only really secure
homeland for the jews. Plus I also think that Israel is the only country
offering nowadays a cultivated and intelligent future, a country where
people lead a simpler and more naturallife, in solidarity, finding its
strengths in the love of the nation and a deep meaning of life”.

About Me

I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-three years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 10 to 31 years and seven grandchildren. Our eldest daughter and eldest son are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.
